easy gps for recreational boating

[karzanik]

What is a good, inexpensive and relativley easy gps for recreational boating?
I am looking for a simple gps for a boat. Nothing too special, no fish finder etc., just something recreational for lakes. No fishing gps please, just something easy to use and tells me the depth of the water.

I guess you should consider the Garmin GPSMAP 76 (recently discontinued, likely good buys) or its replacement the 78. Both float, a decided advantage for a boater.

Well I think even any old TomTom would do for boating with the new map feature which has seas as well, or you can "alter" the software of other gps's.. and get the boat maps that way as well..

just my 2 cents..
